Join a few thousand of your friends for the best Block Party of the summer – that's sure to be a BLAST! The party starts at 6 p.m. and goes strong until midnight.
The Gamut, a Cincinnati cover band, will get the Block Party started at 6:30 p.m. We're excited to announce that The Gamut will be followed by national act Cowboy Mouth with a live performance at the Block Party on Hyde Park Square! Cowboy Mouth is New Orleans rock n' roll.
The term "Cowboy Mouth" has been used in the poetry of Shakespeare and Bob Dylan as well as a play by Patti Smith and Sam Shepard. Usually meaning one with a loud and raucous voice, it describes the band well! The band has released 11 albums and is always on the road, touring with famous acts like Hootie and the Blowfish, BareNaked Ladies, Sister Hazel and Better Then Ezra among many others. We're excited to bring them to Cincinnati and the Hyde Park Blast!
We'll be dancing, eating, drinking and celebrating as we cheer on the cyclists at the Blast Criterium Ride as they circle the Square and the elite runners race a 5k under the lights.
Join us for an evening of amazing cycling races, an elite 5k run and fun. We'll also have your favorite Cincinnati food on hand. Vendors for the night will be announced soon.
